Colonel Colin Mandland has wealth, power...everything but
a bride. But although there is no mistress of his newly
purchased manor, Maiden Hill, there is certainly a
resident maiden: Lady Rosalyn Wellborne, a stubborn beauty
who steadfastly refuses to leave the place she has always
called home.

Hold her hand just a fraction longer than necessary...

Tantalizing Rosalyn proves to be far more difficult than
any enemy he’s ever met on the battlefield. She attacks by
declaring Colin an upstart who is unfit for local society.
He shockingly counters by offering for her hand in
marriage — and she surprisingly accepts.

Or, when all else fails, conquer her.

Although this genteel lady has vowed never to succumb to
unbridled passion, she quickly learns that theirs will be
no marriage in-name-only, but rather a slow, sensuous and
alarmingly effective seduction...that turns her world
upside down.
